I think my favorite one my Dutch buddy told me about was "Helaas pindakaas." If not that, I also love the insult "droplul."
Or find somebody whose body naturally self-ferments and deposits alcohol into the bloodstream. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-brewery_syndrome
There's an entire industry of pedaling them as health products. I once had a random bint on a tour notice my sore back thanks to my scoliosis and asked me about it during some downtime in the tour. After the tour was done she "tipped" me by pouring an amount of essential oil on my palm, told me to rub it on my back, and that if I buy the stuff myself it'll cure my scoliosis.
I walked to the break room and washed it down the drain. Shit made my hand STANK and my head hurt from the fumes.
I want what you're having mate, might make sleeping off this awful fever better.
Honestly though I'm here for this level of personification. When something is very important to someone it often takes on a perceived personality which is just super fun for jokes and banter with them.
Loading zones are regions in a game space where you have to sit through a loading screen. People call Starfield a loading zone simulator because of the lengthy amounts of time spent just loading and not playing the game.
Only wifi you'll get on one of those has to be an older wifi standard without modern encryption. I can't get my PDAs to connect via my router, but if I make a wifi Hotspot on my phone with no encryption or password, I can get mine to connect. Even then, HTTPS websites largely won't work since these devices are pre https-as-standard.
Beyond that however, I find a lotta use in mine for helping manage my ADHD since it does a lotta productivity stuff my phone can do, but with the only distraction being my mp3s and Space Trader.
Where I work we often see tricolored bats. They're just the cutest lil' nuggets, killing off the local mosquitos. You go, wee nugget of the sky.
Ey, I guess it's a breath of fresh air compared to mostly seeing support posts here.

Be autistic as well and give in to the autistic need for structure and routines.
The datedness adds to the experience honestly. I can't play with any mods that are too detailed, nor can I use any mods that add super high res textures. It's like the graphical uncanny valley for me.
FUCK
IT WASN'T.
I didn't realize the cracked corn potential of my joke!
No, it's corny! She's always cracking puns and one liners, that Cathy.
The sequel to Sharkboy and Lavagirl we didn't need.
Aw man, I've honestly forgotten how much I'd enjoyed KenM from the other realm.
Edit: okay I just realized this was on the wrong post. Fuk
It'd probably depend on the game, but see if there's any source ports for the games in question. DSDA Doom, for example, adds modern wide-screen support to classic Doom and has heaps of fantastic options for different compatibility levels for different custom map sets. GZDoom is also an option if you want gameplay mods (shame it's so inefficient lol).
You can also see if there's any wide-screen patches for your games on the PC gaming wiki.
Literally doing this at work right now. Funny to see this on my feed as I'm actively shaking hands with danger.
(I know Linux is better than Windows, there's a better time and place for that talk)
SPECS: OS: Windows 10 Pro N Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X GPU: NVidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti RAM: 4x HyperX Fury DDR4 8GB sticks (two rated for one clock speed, the other two rated for another. As I understand it the faster sticks will just run at the speed of the lower two, and it deffo ain't causing issues cause I've tested games with just one pair or the other. Both gave me crashes)

Simply put, built a custom Windows machine and it gives me BSODs on many more recent games. Deep Rock Galactic, crashes within seconds to minutes of actual gameplay (not including the hub). Remnant: From the Ashes, crashes within minutes on the overworld. Starfield, crashes within minutes to two hours. Blood West, crashes within five minutes of gameplay. Helldivers 2 works fine ingame, but once I quit the game it blue screens within seconds of returning to the desktop.
I've reinstalled drivers. I've disabled sound drivers. I've popped the computer open and reseated everything at least two or three times so far. RAM was tested using MemTest86, no issues at all. CPU temps tend not to exceed anything higher than the 70-75 range ingame (hot, but my processor is rated for up to 90 Celsius). I've reapplied thermal paste four times. I'm on my third install of Windows so far, with this being the Pro N version rather than the Pro version I tried the first two installs. I've had a bit of a go at googling the highlighted files in the Minidump file, but at this point I'm all but giving up. If the Internet can't fix this shit, I'll just sell the components or machine at a loss and stick with an older gaming laptop.
One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?
